Everything you need to install, set up, and start building with the Wuppi theme and Wuppi Blocks plugin.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.5 or later
- PHP 7.4 or later
- A standard WordPress hosting environment
Wuppi is a Full Site Editing (FSE) theme. It requires the native WordPress block editor and is not compatible with classic themes or page builders.
Installing the Wuppi Theme
From WordPress admin (recommended)
- Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New
- Search for “Wuppi”
- Click Install, then Activate
Manual install
- Download the theme ZIP from wordpress.org/themes/wuppi
- Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New → Upload Theme
- Upload the ZIP file and activate
Installing Wuppi Blocks
Wuppi Blocks is optional but recommended — it unlocks the Icon, Accordion, Testimonial, Icon List, and Notice blocks. It works with any FSE theme, not just Wuppi.
- Go to Plugins → Add New
- Search for “Wuppi Blocks”
- Click Install, then Activate
First Setup
1. Choose a style variation
Go to Appearance → Editor, click the top-left site icon, and choose Styles. You’ll find 5 variations: Default, Shoji Warm, Nordic Dark, Forest Calm, and Slate Professional.
2. Start from a pattern
When creating a new page, click the + button and choose Patterns to browse the included layouts for hero sections, services, about sections, and CTAs.
3. Set your homepage
Go to Settings → Reading and set a static page as your homepage.
4. Configure the header
Header behavior (sticky, transparent) can be adjusted in Appearance → Editor → Template Parts → Header, or via Appearance → Wuppi Settings.
